As far as the Z4 3.0si and 130i M Sport compared - the 130i is much rawer, because the Z4 3.0si (Coupé or Roadster) has been spoiled with an electronic power steering assistant. The 130i still has the real hydraulic steering like all other BMWs. The Z4 M (I prefer the Coupé), is then again much tighter than the 130i M Sport - but that's because of it's incredible 3.2 S54B32 engine and wonderful re-designed manual gearbox. And it has the good old hydraulic steering as well (the M-models do.)
So if you're looking for something in this weight class, regular BMW with 3.0 liter engine - specifically the N52B30 engine, go for the 130i M Sport (both Z4 3.0si and 130i also have the same 195kW/265hp/315Nm version of the engine), but if you're looking for an M car with the S54B32 engine, the Z4 M Coupé is definitely the choice. The Z4MC also has the most rigid chassis of any BMW on the market today with rigidity of 32.000Nm/o.
